Worst. Controversy. EVER.
Nathan’s annual hot dog eating contest is the undisputed brass ring for all competitive eaters, but lo and behold, controversy has arrived. Controversy! Major League Eating (yes, it’s a real thing), the people behind the July 4 contest, decided to split the event into men’s and women’s brackets; however, the grand prize purse for the women’s title was just one-fourth of what was offered to the men: $2,500 for the ladies, $10,000 for men. Controversy!
After an uproar regarding the prize disparity arose, Nathan’s changed their tune, and will now offer $10,000 to both the male and female winner of the contest. Not controversial at all!
First we give them the vote, then allow them to drive and now women get paid to win eating contests? Man, we men can’t get anything for ourselves anymore.
Rest easy, Arkansas
Good news, people of Arkansas (like you even have the necessary infrastructure for an Internet connection), you no longer have to worry about that huge escaped alligator anymore!
We told you last week that a gator broke out of the Governor Mike Huckabee Delta Rivers Nature Center, and was on the loose. (Mike Huckabee has not been disproven as an accomplice in the escape.) Workers found the gator a few feet from the fences, and brought him back inside.
So for our concerned readers in Arkansas, that’s now just 199,999 alligators you have to worry about.
Belgian beard-off bears blades
Belgian protestors, who promised us the awesomeness of not shaving until there was a new government, appear to be giving in to their whimsly whiskers. In the name of Brett Keisel, we place a great shame upon you.
